What Students Say

Likes

The beautiful infrastructure of the campus
The beautiful diversity and good vibes
The faculty

Dislikes

Political tensions always going on
Hostel infrastructure is poor

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose to pursue a bachelor's in the Russian language since the indo-russian relationship is growing constantly. The faculty are highly qualified professionals in their field and excellent teachers. Their teaching method is very interactive. There are 2 semesters in each year total of 6 semesters and each semester has 3 sessionals and 1 end-semester exam.

Class Size: 500Course Fees: INR 300 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is very affordable which is around 300 rs per semester and even the hostel fee is not that high which is a 6000rs one-time payment. There are many scholarships available for the students including mcm which provides 2000rs monthly to hostel residents and 800rs monthly for non-residents.

Campus Life

The campus is very interactive and fun. There are always fests and events going on. There are also many international conferences and convocations happening at the university. The central library is huge. It is a 9 floored building with a vast collection of books in every genre the ground floor of the library is dedicated to students for self-study. There are also many clubs in jnu like a hiking club, music club, dance club, photography club, cycling club, etc

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Some hostels are really good and some are just in worse condition The food quality changes in different hostels. The registration process for hostels is not very lengthy and the hostels are pretty affordable The mess bill ranges from 2500-3500 monthly.

Hostel Fee: INR 6000 per year

Admission

There is an entrance exam conducted by the university for the admission of new students every year. Intermediate students are eligible for admission to bachelor courses. The application form can be found on the official jnu website the application form generally comes in August or September every year and the application form fee is not more than 1000. There are many reservation quotas like PWD, staff, defence,sc-st quotas, etc.

Flexible learning system, allowing students to manage their studies alongside other responsibilities.
Opportunity to pursue a degree from delhi university through open and distance learning.

Dislikes

Limited opportunities for regular classroom interaction and face to face engagement with teachers and fellow students.
Students pursuing distance learning may need to rely more on self-study and independent preparation
More regular communication, student support, and interactive academic activities would improve the overall learning experience

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language. The course covers diverse topics that support academic learning and critical thinking. The flexible structure is suitable for distance-learning students. Adding more practical activities, updated study materials, and interactive learning opportunities could further improve the overall course experience.

Likes

I liked the environment and the crowd of the college, and also my professors. Like seriously they are so helpful and kind
Also what I like about this college is that it's liberal unlike other colleges of North campus
I love the ashoka lawn and the big ground in front of the gym

Dislikes

I hate the staff, especially the technical staff ( Ankita Jain ), I went to her with erp portal issue and she just didn't look after my issue properly and sent me away. It was totally unexpected. She must be removed from her position.
The canteen staff, I didn't like their behaviour
Some of the seniors are shit and not helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate it 9 out of 10. The reason is simple, whatever my professors teach and everything that is there in my syllabus is really helpful for my future. Not just that, they way lectures are delivered by the professors is just awesome

Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.
